Pediatric Neurosciences

Caring for Childhood Brain and Nerve Disorders

The magic of a child’s mind is extraordinary. At Children’s, we recognize that for the one in five children with disorders of brain development and function, there are unique challenges. These children deserve care that is tailored to their specific needs by a team that is 100 percent dedicated to pediatric patients.

The Children’s Neurosciences program provides comprehensive care for babies, children and young adults with brain disorders, such as epilepsy and brain tumors.

The neurosciences team includes neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and neurophysiology social workers working together to continue to provide quality care to our patients.
